What physical port types can be switched?

Explanation:
Switching moves frames within the device’s Layer 2 network across its ports, using the switch fabric and MAC address learning. On MikroTik devices with an integrated switch, both Ethernet ports and SFP ports are part of that switch domain. Ethernet ports are the standard, and SFP ports can be included in the same switch/bridge so traffic can be forwarded between Ethernet and SFP ports, or between SFP ports themselves. That means both types can participate in switching. The other options would omit one type or claim none, which doesn’t match how the switch fabric handles available interfaces on many MikroTik devices.
